Working closely with Jakarta’s local bike messengers, we set out to design a versatile utilitarian messenger bag. Tested and abused by our friends at @WMSwestbike, ‘The Echelon’ is the culmination of that effort.

We’ve always been a big fan of messenger bags for its aesthetic, practical, and quick access. However, with heavy loads and long rides, it tends to tire one shoulder. The Echelon messenger bag is our way of addressing that issue. We add a retractable secondary shoulder strap, that when needed, can be whipped out to even the load distribution across both shoulders.

A couple of additional extendable straps also included on both sides of the flap to secure items that are too big to put in the main compartment. The floating construction of the tarpaulin inner lining makes the bag 100% waterproof, the bag is tough and durable, built for messengers and avid commuters, we managed to pack all those features while maintaining a clean aesthetic, something we’re chuffed to say proudly made in Indonesia.
